Hm.  We could imagine a three-way option:
        NO SCROLL       always error if fetch backwards
        <nothing>       allow if plan supports it
        SCROLL          allow, add overhead if needed to support
The <nothing> case would deviate from the spec but would give backwards
compatibility.

                        regards, tom lane
